Hey guys,

A quiet update compared to last week but you may still find something of interest that you may not have originally noticed previously.

In case you missed it in last week’s extra update, The Amazing Spider-Man and Ice-Age 4: Continental Drift were released on the store on the Friday. Please see last week’s update for further info.

This week we have a brand new PSN title – Rainbow Moon. Rainbow Moon is a beautiful role-playing game filled with exploration, turn-based battles, and character development. Six playable main characters with upgradeable weapons and armour, and more than 20 challenging dungeons await you in a fascinating story that spans over 40 hours.

Play for 100 hours and more, including all side quests and optional content.

Andy continues to work some magic with sales and promotions by netting you guys some great offers this week! Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Collection 1 and 2 are just £5.49 and then there’s various Final Fantasy titles on offer once more. There’s quite a bit on offer so definitely check out Andy’s post right here.

You’ll notice that avatars aren’t listed this week. This is due to timing but there are a batch released this week ranging from Guilty Gear to Gungrave.

With that all said, please enjoy this week’s update.

Sorry to bother you every week, but any updates on any Castlevania games coming from the US store any time soon?Whether that is Dracula X Chronicles or just Symphony of the night, either would be good to me, lol.

I asked the guys on the Konami UK twitter and they said they would look into it too, here’s hoping we get it one day.

Asked last time with no response, but why exactly have prices gone up on the New Zealand PSN? Heaps of titles have gone up, there’s some $4 price increases with no rhyme or reason. We were already paying more than the currency converted amount.

Yes,seriously,where actually IS Walking Dead Episode 2?Monthly download…..I forgave them for the BTTF episodes fiasco due to the hack but this is ridiculous.Can we please get some clarification here on when we will receive the game we paid for?

“Many people noticed that the PS3 version did not launch in Europe as scheduled. At the last minute Sony Computer Entertainment Europe approached FarSight with a plan to promote both the PS3 and PS Vita versions if they agreed to delay the PS3 version so that they could come out together. FarSight really couldn’t turn down that kind of publicity when a big company like Sony offers it to them, so they consented. The good news is that both the PS3 version and the PS Vita version are now scheduled for release in Europe on July 11th, and FarSight should get some great publicity that will help introduce many new people to the joys of pinball.

FarSight thanks everyone for their patience and for supporting The Pinball Arcade!”

Any possible chance of getting Spider Man 2 ps2 classic up on psn?? Its the best spider man game by far, and with the movie coming out (and amazing spider man dissapointing) i’m sure sales would be good for that 1… Cmon you know you wanna!

We need a date for The Walking Dead Episode 2. We bought a bundle promising a monthly release and still we’re waiting episode 2 for more than 2 months. At this rythmn, we’ll get final episode in 2012. Le lack of communication from TTG and Sony on the subject is disturbing. Aren’t we qualified for a refund?

Hello Jawad, am I blind or it´s all the new (except of that Oscorp phone mini game one) The Amazing Spider-Man DLC missing? I am interested in Rhino´s challenge and I can not find it anywhere, thank you ;)

Nothing but shovelware PS2 games and YET no free 2 games for PS+ and still yet no sign of Pinball Classics and The Walking Dead Ep. II.

I mean seriously since when is Dead Island deserved to be ”Game of the Year” when it has so many glitches, bad controls, weak voice acting and horrible graphics? I played it, hated it and traded in. But ah well, least the extended cut for ME3 is free though.

Hi JawadAny news about when The Walking Dead episode 2 may be released on PSN? Or even an explanation as to what/why its taking so long? Feel a bit let down about spending money on something i thought i could sink my teeth into each month, but instead have been left roaming around groaning :-\Could of put that money to better use while passing the time! Cheers
